I am currently considering purchasing a Hirth F20 twin plug 650cc inline twin. I have a set of plans that recommends mounting the engine upside down for clearance and using a 4 belt reduction unit. Being a two stroke, oiling shouldn't be an issue and flipping the carbs right side up is easy enough. Are there any known issues from such a set up? Thanks
